PSD
- default file format
- support most photoshop features with PSB
- only opened with Adobe software apps
- no compression
- raster-based
PSB
-used for large doc over 2 GB
JPEG compression
- lets you determine how much compression you want
- photo degrades with each save
- can be mildly compressed or substantially compressed
Tiff
- used to exchange files between apps
- lossless
- since the TIFF retains all of the rich pixel information without compression, the file sizes are very large.
